The COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) EPS(Electrical Power Subsystem) is derived from an enhanced Eurostar 3000 version. Eurostar 3000 EpS is fully autonomous operation in nominal conditions or in the event of a failure and provides a high level of reconfigure capability. This paper introduces the COMS EPS preliminary design result. COMS EPS consists of a battery, a solar arrat wing, a PSR(Power Supply Regulator), a PRU(Pyrotechnic Unit), a SDAM(Solar Array Drive Mechanism) and relay and fuse brackets. COMS EPS can offer a bus power capability of 3 kW. The solar array is made of a deployable wing with two panels. One type fo solar cells is selected ad GaAs/Ge triple junction cells. Li-ion battery is base lined with ten series cell module of five cells in parallel. PSR associated to battery and solar array wing generates a power bus fully regulated at 50 V. Power bus os centralized protection and distribution by relay and fuse brackets. PRU provides power for firing actuarors devices. The solar array wing is rotated by the SADM under control of the attitude orbit control subsystem. The control and monitoring of the EPS, especially of the battery, is performed by the PSR in combination with the on-board software.

For the purpose of the good tracking to variable load demands of the thermal power plant, a decentralized multilevel control(DMC) scheme is presented. It is applied to the drum type boiler-turbine system which is simplified from Boryung T/P #1,2 model[4]. A linearized model is decomposed into three subsystems by means of linear transformation. Then the DMC based on such subsystem is designed. Simulation using Matlab-Simulink shows that the proposed algorithm works very well to the large step change of power demand.

In order to successfully develop attitude and orbit control subsystem(AOCS), AOCS engineer performs hardware selection, controller design and analysis, control logic and interface verification on electrical test bed, integrated system test, polarity test, and finally verification on orbit after launching. Attitude and orbit control subsystem for KOMPSAT-2 consists of standby mode, sun mode, maneuver mode, science mode, and power safe mode to stabilize and to control the spacecraft for performing the mission. The sun mode is usually divided into sun point submode, earth search submode and safe hold submode. The maneuver mode is divided into attitude hold submode and ${\triangle}$ V submode, while the science mode divided into science coarse submode and science fine submode. Moreover, it is added to back-up mode which uses wheels as an actuator for sun mode and maneuver mode. In this paper, we describe the controller design process and the performance of the design results with respect to the sun mode and the maneuver mode based on thrusters as an actuator using on flexible model.

Propulsion subsystem transfers KOMPSAT into mission orbit and controls its attitude. Design factor consists of structure safety, electrical circuit design, consumable power estimation of thermal hardwares, damping device design of fuel transient pressure, and system configuration design by considering plume effect from thruster firing. System level analysis should be performed for verification of system design under launch vehicle and orbital environment. Electrical functional test of thermal control hardware, proof pressure test, cleanliness verification test, and internal/external leakage test of fuel feeding system should be carried out for performance estimation of propulsion system. Design and assembly process of propulsion subsystem was depicted and reliability of system was verified by test analysis in this paper.

The PMU (Payload Management Unit) in MSC (Multi-Spectral Camera) is the main subsystem for the management, control and power supply of the MSC payload operation. The PMU shall handle the communication with the BUS (Spacecraft) OBC (On Board Computer) for the command, the telemetry and the communications with the various MSC units. The PMU will perform that distributes power to the various MSC units, collects the telemetry reports from MSC units, performs thermal control of the EOS (Electro-Optical Subsystem), performs the NUC (Non-Uniformity Correction) function of the raw imagery data, and rearranges the pixel data and output it to the DCSU (Data Compression and Storage Unit). The BUS provides high voltage to the MSC. The PMU is connected to primary and redundant BUS power and distributes the high unregulated primary voltages for all MSC sub-units. The PSM (Power Supply Module) is an assembly in the PMU implements the interface between several channels on the input. The bus switches are used to prevent a single point system failure. Such a failure could need the PSS (Power Supply System) requirement to combine the two PSM boards' bus outputs in a wired-OR configuration. In such a configuration if one of the boards' output gets shorted to ground then the entire bus could fail thereby causing the entire MSC to fail. To prevent such a short from pulling down the system, the switch could be opened and disconnect the short from the bus. This switch operation is controlled by the BUS.

The design of pico-/nano-satellites is particularly challenging due to constraints in mass, volume, power, and surface area. An efficient low-cost picosatellite HAUSAT-1 Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS) is developed to supply the power for various loads during the full mission life. This paper addresses design and analysis results of solar arrays, batteries, power conditioning and distribution units. The component selection, manufacturing and test results are presented by considering appropriate development cost and performance. The simulation results of power system are also illustrated, according to operational modes, through energy balance analysis. Finally, the EFS design feasibility is verified by comparing analysis results with functional and environmental test results at the system and component levels, respectively.

Required power and solar array sizing of KOMPSAT-2 have been analyzed by ASTRIUM and KARI in November, 2000. There are Electrical Power Subsystem(EPS) design discrepancies between ASTRIUM and Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) according to heritage program, EPS operation concepts, power source and the characteristic of the electrical boxes. To design the power system of KOMPSAT-2, ASTRIUM has used the EPS design of the CHAMP and GlobalStar program. But SSTI, TOMS-EP and KOMPSAT-1's design concepts has been used for KOMPSAT-2 EPS design by the KARI. To get the design conclusion, there are many trade-off meetings for the EPS sizing using each sides' heritage program and EPS operation concept. And the EPS design factors and approaching methods have been reviewed and discussed. In addition the EPS design results from ASTRIUM and KARI are summarized in this paper.

Li-Ion battery is used in the most satellites now due to advantages such as weight, thermal dissipation and self discharge compared to the previous generations of electrochemical batteries. The performance analysis model of the Li-Ion battery is needed to aid the design of new satellite electrical power subsystem. This paper develops the performance analysis model of the Li-Ion battery to apply to the electrical power subsystem design and energy balance analysis on geostationary orbit. The analysis model receives the satellite bus power, solar array power and battery temperature and gives the battery voltage, charge and discharge currents, taper index, state of charge and power dissipation. The results from the performance analysis are compared and analyzed with the flight data to verify the model. The compared results show satisfactory without significant difference with the flight data.
